ceilings and martial debt versus -- national debt versus annual deficit and that kind of thing. so when mr. mills was elected to congress, it was in a period when presidential power was at its peak because franklin roosevelt was president. but the peak of presidential power was when abraham lincoln was president. and i hope if you haven't had a chance to see the movie "lincoln" that you will, because i think i it's quite inspiring. after lincoln was assassinated, congress became very, very powerful. and woodrow wilson was a professor of political science at that time, and it was before he became president of princeton and governor of new jersey and then president. and he wrote a book called "congressional government." and and he called the committees and the committee chairmen lord proprietors. so ironically, when he became president and t.r. was president and fdr was president, it was the president that was so powerful. so he got to rewrite his book, i guess, in his head at least. mr. mills was elected in 1938 to congress at the peak of presidential power. and he had so many in
